BEST FOR... SIRES SERFAUS FISS LADIS

Austrian ski resorts may have perfected après ski, but they know equally well how to take care of families with children. These three linked villages balance magical charm with convenience, and your enjoyment with that of your offspring. There are lockers by the rental shops at the lifts (so, no lugging your equipment around) and the children’s areas combine kindergarten and ski teaching, with dedicated tubing tracks for kids. Family hotels such as Hotel Tirol Fiss offer separate family and adultonly spas, and you can even rent e-buggies to save you pushing prams up hills.

GO OFF-PISTE There you are, enjoying an après drink, when there is a familiar tug on the sleeve and: “Da-aad, I’m bored!” So, what does the Hexenalm provide, along with beer and music? Eight monitored trampolines. hexenalm-soell.at
